FRATTINI DISCUSSES EXEC PROD 2.0, HOW LIVE EVENT PRODUCTION IS CHANGING

Email:ron@enfluencegroup.comWebsite:http://www.SUNSETLANEENTERTAINMENT.COMSince opening its doors in 2008, Sunset Lane Entertainment (SLE) has developed an impressive annual roster of national and global clients and multi-branded, multi-platform events (www.sunsetlaneentertainment.com). Today, SLE Founder Executive Producer Salli Frattini announced the completion of three unique network specials – The Style Awards for the Style Network, the 3rd Annual BET Black Girls Rock Awards Show, and as Music Consultant for The Dew Tour on NBC Sports and Alli Sports. Frattini said the company continues to grow its development slate, and recently she created a development partnership with veteran broadcast network exec Felycia Sugarman. The portfolio includes exceptional scripted and unscripted series, as well as sports and entertainment events and properties. As the demand for SLE services evolves, the company’s promise to its clients to offer the most seasoned experts has not wavered. To keep up with the client demand, SLE has forged an incredible network of production experts that it taps whenever their expertise is needed. This approach is the most efficient way clients can get a team of top talent. Along with the evolution of Frattini’s role, which she coined “Executive Producer 2.0,” SLE is becoming the production partner of choice for forward thinking brand marketers.

“Smart brands want to create target-specific moments-in-time, properties or franchises that consumers interact with and that have global reach and appeal. As we're asked more and more to create, develop, coordinate, consult on and produce multi-branded, multi-platform Broadcast and Live event properties, we simply tap our network of production experts to meet the demand,” said Frattini. "Brands are joining forces with other like-minded and complimentary organizations and products today to develop new cornerstone events and programs. The key to success is having someone who can leverage all of the relevant offerings of each partner and produce a cohesive, rich, unique entertaining experience for the target audience that is mutually beneficial for all parties involved: we call that role Executive Producer 2.0.”

A recent example of this multi-branded approach, use of the SLE network of experts and EP 2.0 is SLE’s work with The Style Network. SLE was hired by The Style Network to executive produced and collaborate with IMG Fashion Week and PMC, the event production company. SLE post-produced a 1-hour TV special, original digital shorts, red carpet and the behind-the-scenes for mystyle.com. Nancy McDonald, part of the SLE network of experts, was the producer.
